Update Part Deux!

So this is where I currently stand as far as casting goes.  I am currently set up with my PC in a small dining room in a 1 bedroom apartment that belongs to my future roommate.  In the other room(the living room) is where I'll sleep, and also where my roommate's girlfriend is currently located as she watches Breaking Bad.  This will probably be how it is when she isn't in class, so casting with a microphone will be sporadic until sometime next week.  My friend(future roommate) is back home in Browning for a week, and when he gets back we will be looking to find and move into a new place ASAP.

So if you see me saying a sans microphone cast, and I don't cast as much, now you know why and the reasons behind it.  School's going great though :D

One Hectic Crazy Week...

Even as I type this now I can feel the exhaustion all over my body, some physical but mainly mental.  I guess we should start from the beginning...

So got a car on Tuesday, that was exciting.  That was after a 2 hour drive, after which we drove another 2 and a half hours to this vacation rental which was outside of Missoula.  The main reason we did is my uncle's stepson(I think of him as my cousin) is heading to the University in Missoula for his freshmen year, so my aunt/uncle/cousins all came up from my mom's side, and we spent the day visiting and telling stories, very fun.

However, my roommate was supposed to head to Missoula that day, and I didn't hear from him, so that wore on my stress a bit.  I finally got a hold of him and found out he was coming up the next day, so I took Wednesday as an excuse to spend more time with the family.  Visiting by the river, playing Pinnacle, eating grilled food my uncle made, even going to Missoula for an excursion.

The next day my mom had to leave by a certain time, so we went to my roommate's apartment.  After waiting 40 minutes and telling my mom to head out(I wasn't even sure if I would have a bed at this point), he finally came out of the shower and we started talking about what we were up to.  Apparently his girlfriend's sister and brother were going to be staying in their current 1 bedroom apartment until Tuesday.  I could have stayed there, but I'm just getting set in my ways and didn't want to share a room that I would sleep in with 3 other people, as the sister's boyfriend was also there.

Afterwards we went apartment searching for a good 6 hours, which was draining itself.  Found a couple of nice places though that weren't too expensive, we're gonna still be looking around though and hopefully get a place by next week.

So last night I checked into a hotel because of the previous reasons, and was ready to keep paying a hotel money every night just so I could have some comfort sleeping.  After waking up early this morning and taking care of stuff at the financial aid office(still only half done with everything there), I decided to head home for the weekend so I wouldn't be wasting money at a hotel room.

So, that's the story.  I didn't have internet at the vacation rental, nor did I have internet at the future roommate's house.  He called it in to be worked on but the earliest without someone else cancelling their work order would be Monday.  That's why I'm home, not because I want to be, but because of forced necessity.  I'm still frenzied and not at ease, so if you see me on Skype or something feel free to talk to me, I'll need it.
